Coxal gland showing the saccule surrounded by the labyrinth 

 coils. The coxal artery (CA) enters the saccule (S), and on 

 the right the lumen of the saccule passes into the labyrinth 

 tubule (CL). Below on the left is appendage V with its nerve 

 (N) and artery (AV). 



From AV runs the coxal artery (GA) to the saccule. 



The diaphragm (D) runs vertically across the field just posterior 

 to the coxal gland. On the right of D is the abdomen with its 

 intestinal coeca (C) filled with globules of nutrient matter. The 

 lymphatic organ lies more internally and does not appear in this 

 section.
